Number Of Ingredients 5

2-pound boneless turkey breast half with untorn skin
1 small lemon, thinly sliced
10 fresh basil leaves
Olive or vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning

Steps:

Carefully place lemon slices and basil leaves under skin. Rub turkey skin with oil; sprinkle with lemon-pepper seasoning. Insert barbecue meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of turkey.

This recipe was a disaster. The turkey was overcooked and dry.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the turkey didn't have much flavor. I'll try adding more herbs and spices next time.

The turkey was a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try brining the turkey next time.

I've tried many grilled turkey breast recipes, but this one is by far the best. The marinade is simple, but it packs a lot of flavor. The turkey was juicy and cooked evenly.
